Chapter 537 Women’s Clothing

In the Liangzhou military camp.

"General, Zhang Yan is unwilling to give way, and he has also sent troops to blockade Heishan. Now it is difficult for our army to cross Heishan."

Liu Ye suddenly fell silent upon hearing this, while the other civil and military officers in the camp looked at Liu Ye.

"General, how about we use the navy to support us, force a landing on the Jizhou mainland, surround Wei and rescue Zhao?" Guo Jia suggested.

Jia Xu's eyes lit up: "Feng Xiao's strategy is a good one. Since Yuan Shao has the intention to annex the state, we might as well land directly on the mainland of Jizhou with the help of the navy. In this way, Yuan Shao may withdraw his troops."

Besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao has become a common military method. The two battles between Sun Bin and Pang Juan, the Battle of Guiling and the Battle of Maling, were all about besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao.

"General, what do you think?" Guo Jia asked.

Liu Ye was silent for a while and shook his head.

"Hit!" Liu Ye clenched his fist and said.

"beat?"

"Not bad!" Liu Ye said proudly: "Isn't Zhang Yan unwilling to borrow the road? Then we will directly send troops to break through Heishan, directly enter Shangdang County, and fight the Jizhou Army."

"With all due respect, General." Guo Jia said in confusion: "Although the Black Mountain bandits have experienced several wars and their strength has been reduced, due to Yu Du's escape, Zhang Yan instead integrated the internal resources of Montenegro. Our army really has Is it necessary to fight with Zhang Yan?"

"Hmph!" Liu Ye snorted coldly: "Fengxiao thinks that the battle with the Montenegrin Army led by me will be a loss of strength, right?"

Guo Jia nodded slowly: "That's true. After all, the main purpose of our army's march north this time is to rescue Bingzhou. Wouldn't it be a waste of strength to fight the Black Mountain Army here?"

"You are wrong!"

Liu Ye sneered: "At first, the territory under King Xiang's command was getting smaller and smaller, but Liu Bang was retreating steadily in Xingyang, and Peng Yue rushed to Pengcheng. When he heard that Xiang Yu was coming, he was so scared that he turned around and ran away. Why?"

"Prestige!" Liu Ye shouted loudly: "King Xiang is invincible in every battle, and the world is terrified. No one is afraid of his troops wherever they go. Now a mere Zhang Yan dares to stand in front of our army. If I don't eliminate him, Aren’t there going to be countless battles in the future?”

Guo Jia nodded slightly: "Jia understands, the general wants to establish his reputation through a battle?"

"That's right." Liu Ye nodded and said: "This time we not only want to eliminate the Black Mountain bandits, but also let Yuan Shao and the princes of the world know that our Liangzhou Army is invincible!"

Xu Huang was quite excited, clenched his fists and shouted: "Invincible!"

"Invincible!"

On that day, the Liangzhou army directly formed a formation, with flags fluttering in the formation of 50,000 troops, with a fierce momentum, and a sharp aura approaching the Montenegrin army.

"Zhang Yan! Our army has issued a letter of challenge. Do you dare to fight?"

Hearing the Liangzhou Army calling for formation at the foot of the mountain, Zhang Yan smiled coldly: "The Liangzhou Army is a clown, our army only needs to stick to Black Mountain and there is no need to fight the enemy."

Yang Feng flattered, "What the commander said is true."

Just when Zhang Yan was feeling proud, dozens of Liangzhou soldiers suddenly appeared at the foot of the mountain. Each one of them was selected, and they were all talking obscenities.

"Hahaha! Zhang Yan, the dog thief, is as timid as a mouse. He hasn't had enough mother's milk yet. Please go home to your mother as soon as possible."

"Zhang Yan'er has been frightened. He doesn't dare to fight with our army. Surrender!"

These dozens of Liangzhou soldiers were all selected from the army. They had loud voices, mixed with local dialects, and kept swearing. Zhang Yan's face turned pale after hearing this, and she held the Huanshou knife at her waist.

Seeing this, Yang Feng hurriedly held Zhang Yan's arm and said urgently: "Commander, this is the enemy's conspiracy. Don't fall for the enemy's trick!"

Zhang Yan took a deep breath and forced a smile: "Don't worry, I will not easily fall into the enemy's provocation."

But it's not a problem to be scolded by the other party here all the time, so Zhang Yan plans to go back and take a rest.

"Report! The Liangzhou Army envoy has arrived."

Zhang Yan frowned: "Humph, I want to see what they have to say." After saying that, Zhang Yan ordered the Black Mountain soldiers to bring up the Liangzhou Army envoy.

"I have sent a gift to Marshal Zhang by order of the general." A Liangzhou Army Sima said proudly.

"Oh, I have to thank the general for this." Zhang Yan finally suppressed the anger in her heart and smiled.

"I wonder what good gift the general has sent?" Zhang Yan laughed and pretended to be generous.

The Army Sima unfolded a brocade box and said loudly: "The general is sending a set of women's clothing. Luoyang Caihuixuan has a set of rouge and gouache, which is presented to Marshal Zhang."

Zhang Yan's face turned livid, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Thank you so much, General, for the gift. My wife will definitely shed tears of gratitude."

"Huh?" Army Sima shook his head and said, "Marshuai Zhang must have misunderstood. This is a gift specially given to Marshal Zhang by the general. If Marshal Zhang's wife also needs one, I will go down and prepare it right now."

"Me me!" Zhang Yan shouted angrily, leaping up like a furious cheetah, and slashed out with a sword that was extremely sharp.

Sa!

The women's clothing and wooden box held by Army Sima were immediately cut into two halves and scattered on the ground. Zhang Yan, on the other hand, had red eyes, panting like an ox, and looked at Jun Sima coldly with bloodshot eyes. She raised her hand in an instant and placed the ring-shou knife on his neck.

"Liu Yuqing, how dare you humiliate me?"

In the past, Liu Ye could just send someone to win a victory and scold him, but now he sent him a set of women's clothes, which was equivalent to telling Zhang Yan: Is it because you are a woman that you don't dare to go to war? If that's the case, then wear girly clothes and go back.

This was exactly what Zhuge Liang had done back then. He knew that he was about to die soon, so he prepared to lead the main force of the Shu army in Wuzhangyuan to launch a decisive battle against the Wei army led by Sima Yi. However, Sima Yi also knew that Zhuge Liang's life was not long, so he ordered the camp to be held fast and the Wei army not to fight.

In desperation, Zhuge Liang resorted to the provocation method of "gifting women's clothing" to ridicule Sima Yi for being a woman. However, Sima Yi was cunning after all, so he did not fall for Zhuge Liang's trick and instead accepted the women's clothing.

Liu Ye also had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and then he thought of this method.

"Damn it, I'll kill you first!" Zhang Yan, furious, raised her ring-shou knife to kill Army Sima.

"Wait a minute!" Army Sima shouted loudly: "The two armies are fighting without killing the envoys. If Marshal Zhang is really determined to fight with our army, then please mobilize the army, and your two armies will fight openly. Otherwise, we will give up. Put on women's clothing and kill the last general."

"Okay, okay, okay!" Zhang Yan said coldly: "Get back here. In half an hour, the two armies will have a decisive battle!"

"Thank you Marshal Zhang. I will go back and report this later." Army Sima resigned, while Yang Feng was stunned.

"Commander, Commander! How can we fight with the enemy?" Yang Feng said in shock.
